Chapter 478: Creation of Yin and Yang
"The way of yin and yang is the great way of the acquired world. All living beings are born with it. Therefore, the way of yin and yang, in terms of living beings alone, is the highest way... Before the formation of the Nascent Soul, the cultivator is still a mortal body, unable to see the existence of the way of yin and yang through the appearance, unable to understand the changes of yin and yang, and naturally half the work is done with half the effort."
"And in this yin and yang, there are infinite changes, which is the principle that one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things."
"Some are good at killing, some are good at making up for their shortcomings, some are nurturing spirits, and some are boundless creation..."
In the quiet scripture library, the candle wick made a crackling sound.
The rows of bookshelves that went straight to the top were filled with gold paper, ancient books, jade slips, and many inherited treasures.
The bald female cultivator Jiang Yi sat cross-legged above the futon, and the sound was empty, like the shaking of a magic bell and the echo of a hand chime.
Across from her, Wang Ba and Pang Xiu sat in a triangle with her, also cross-legged and suspended in the air.
Pang Xiu kept silent about Jiang Yi's words.
Wang Ba was thoughtful and said:
"May I ask Senior Jiang, if I want to cultivate the part of Yin and Yang involving destiny, is there any way?"
Jiang Yi's face was calm, holding the beads in his hand, and replied:
"The Tao is not biased. Cultivation is up to the individual. What you can cultivate depends on yourself. 'Destiny' is the most profound purpose of Yin and Yang. It is difficult to learn and even more difficult to achieve, and it also requires some external assistance. To be honest, I don't know what you want to do, but I have the same idea as Pang Xiu. I don't recommend you to practice this way..."
"Of course, if you still insist, it's up to you."
"Just want to remind you that I am not practicing Yin and Yang. I have only seen seniors in the sect practice it, and I only know a little about the way of destiny in Yin and Yang, so I can't point out the truth, and I can only give you some small external help."
"External objects?"
Wang Ba was a little surprised.
As for the fact that the other party did not practice Yin and Yang, he had already known this from Elder Pang.
But the impact is not great. After all, the other party was once a cultivator at the level of refining emptiness, and in the Yuntian Realm, he had been exposed to more advanced cultivation theories. With a bird's-eye view, even if he had not practiced the Yin-Yang Dao, he could still give him extraordinary help.
To put it bluntly, apart from this senior Jiang, looking at the entire Xiaocang Realm, there is probably no more powerful person who can guide him.
"External objects are the initial trigger of the Yin-Yang Dao, just like a little spark can ignite firewood. This thing is easy to solve at the moment. Now, it depends on whether you can bring this firewood."
Jiang Yi was not stingy with his advice.
"Firewood..."
Wang Ba couldn't help but frown.
If he could find these "firewood", he wouldn't need to come here for advice.
At this time, Pang Xiu, who knew Wang Ba better, suddenly said:
"In the Sutra Library, there are practice notes left by the ancestors who practiced the Taoism of Hehuan Peak in the past. You can look at these notes, compare them with your experience in practice, and then combine them with your own wishes. You can carefully comprehend them and maybe you can understand something."
"Notes?"
Wang Ba's heart moved when he heard this.
Jiang Yi paused for a moment, then nodded:
"It can be regarded as a solution, Pang Xiu, you can find all the things related to the changes of yin and yang for him."
Pang Xiu was stunned.
"All?"
He hesitated to speak, but after just glancing at the other party, he still waved his hand slightly.
In the Sutra Library, countless pages of books were turned and jade slips were shining.
Afterwards, pieces of gold paper, jade slips, ancient books, and inherited treasures flew in from all directions, landed around Pang Xiu, and revolved around him.
He swept his mind slightly, nodded slightly, and then his mind moved slightly, and these inheritances that revolved around him fell into Wang Ba's arms like a young swallow flying into the forest.
Wang Ba swept his eyes lightly.
"Golden Liquid Two Methods", "Heaven and Earth Creation Sutra", "Cultivation Records of Qiankun Return Method - Written by Shui Gu, the Fourth Generation Peak Master of Hehuan Peak", "Qiankun Records - Sixth Generation...", "Yin Yang Table True Explanation", "Observation of the Sun and the Moon on the Changes of Yin and Yang Positive and Negative", "Yin Yang Evolution and Harmony Wonderful Purpose", "Yin Yang and People", "Yin Yang and Spiritual Plants and Spiritual Beasts", "Yin Yang Reversal Array Arrangement", "Pure Yang Taoism"...
Kung Fu, magic, cultivation notes, array, beast control...
All the books related to Yin and Yang that have been accumulated in the sect for tens of thousands of years are now placed in front of Wang Ba.
"With your current state, it won't take long to read through all of this. Take the essence and comprehend it. If you can comprehend the principles and feel that you can succeed, you can come to me again."
"I still have to remind you that if you have studied for ten years and still have nothing to gain, then there is no need to think about it anymore. You are probably not suitable for this path."
Jiang Yi said calmly.
After that, her body quietly disappeared from Wang Ba's sight.
"Ten years?"
Wang Ba frowned slightly and then looked at Pang Xiu.
Seeing Wang Ba looking at him, Pang Xiu explained:
"Senior Jiang is busy reading all the Taoist scriptures in the Sutra Library... You can take these books back, or read them here, and return them to their original places after reading."
Wang Ba thought for a while and nodded:
"I'll read them here."
He has already screened all the spirit beasts in the Pearl Secret Realm and arranged their pairs. No more changes can be seen in a short period of time, and Qu Shentong has not arranged anything for him. As the deputy sect leader, he is even more idle than the ministers under the Five Elements Department.
Instead of going out, it is better to calm down in this Sutra Library and practice and study seriously.
Pang Xiu nodded and disappeared immediately.
"The way of the Earth Immortal practiced by Elder Pang is also wonderful. He can appear in the outside world at will without being restricted by heaven and earth. It's a pity that he can't leave this place."
Wang Hao felt a little regretful.
Due to the limitations of heaven and earth, even the fifth-level magic weapon is also restricted. The only advantage is that as long as you don't take action, it will not attract the attack of heaven and earth.
So if Pang Xiu can go out and walk around at will, the entire Xiaocang world may have to change his surname to Wanxiang.
"But Senior Jiang, she was reincarnated here to help Xiaocangjie's lineage move to Yuntianjie. Now that the migration can no longer continue, why does it seem that she is not in a hurry at all? Or maybe she has another way. Can you leave this world?"
Wang Hao had doubts in his heart.
But the identity of the other party is too special. If the other party does not take the initiative to mention it, it seems that they do not believe the other party when they ask, but it is easy to cause discord.
He and Qu Shentong also discussed the matter secretly. Qu Shentong also made subtle insinuations and tried to find out what the other party was saying, but in the end it was settled.
We can only wait for the other party to want to say something, and then take the opportunity to ask further questions.
Aware of the turmoil in his mind, Wang Yan restrained himself one by one, and then focused his attention on the books related to yin and yang in front of him. While reading, he compared it with the "The Return of the Universe" that he had learned before. Compare each other.
Due to the ability to consume longevity, he almost understood half of it every time he read a book.
He can also understand some of the things that cannot be consumed by his lifespan, relying on his experience gained from practicing various techniques for many years.
Time passes by little by little...
at the same time.
In the intricate scripture library, in front of a black bookshelf.
The bald female cultivator Jiang Yi floated her body, holding a mottled ancient book made of a special material in her hands, turning the pages gently.
On the ancient books, the words are ancient and clumsy, with a hint of ancient and vast atmosphere. Every word seems to have infinite meaning.
Therefore, she read it very carefully and seriously, and seemed to consider and savor every word for a long time.
A half-black and half-white figure of a young monk quietly gathered in front of her.
It was Jingku who guarded Pangxiu.
He looked at Jiang Yi, frowned slightly, and said with some confusion:
"Senior can obviously directly enlighten Senior Nephew Wang on the key points of the "Return of the Universe", so why do you have to let him read those complicated things by himself?"
Jiang Yi paused while turning the book, then looked up at Pang Xiu and replied calmly:
"Otherwise, how can he break the illusion?"
"With his talent of being able to cultivate the Way of Ten Thousand Dharmas to the Nascent Soul in less than two hundred years, he is truly extraordinary. Why waste the remaining time on the endless, difficult and obscure road like the Yin-Yang Avenue?"
"Even if he is lucky enough to understand the way of yin and yang, it will be a long journey. Even the Tribulation Monk would not dare to say that he can exhaust the principles of yin and yang. If he wastes his efforts on it, his talent will be wasted in vain."
"It is better to concentrate on the way of all laws, concentrate on cultivating spiritual beasts, and pass on this lineage. Maybe the Wanxiang Sect in this world can wait for the day when Patriarch Chongyuan can take part in creation and travel in the third world sea. day."
Pang Xiu couldn't help but look surprised when he heard this, but then his brows furrowed deeper:
"How long will it take to wait for the Patriarch to come? Why not tell him directly? Save him from wasting ten years."
Jiang Yi was silent for a moment, then said:
"As little as ten thousand years, as much as twenty or thirty thousand years, or..."
Or maybe that day will never come.
Who can say for sure about these things?
"As for telling him, such a handsome and outstanding talent can be regarded as a first-class figure in the Yuntian world. How many years have he come out? His Taoist heart is even more determined than gold and stone. How can he give up on himself just because of a few words from you and me? His thoughts? Ten years have passed for Yu Yuanying cultivator. If it takes ten years to make him give up his unrealistic ideas, it will be worth it, right? "
Jiang Yi's words were objective and reasonable, so much so that Pang Xiu was speechless for a moment.
Seeing that Pang Xiu was persuaded by him, Jiang Yi was not at all happy, and only had a trace of regret in his heart:
"It's a pity. If such people were born in the Yun Tian Realm, even if they couldn't understand the way of yin and yang, they would have a bright future if they changed the direction. Refinement and integration would be within reach, and they might not be able to overcome the calamity. There is no hope, it’s a pity.”
It's just that time is destiny, and this is how people encounter each other.
Just like Han Xiangzi and Ye Cangtian, the ancestor of Huangjizhou, who is not the most talented person, the best among people, and the choice of the moment?
However, being trapped in the environment will ultimately lead to detachment.
Although this sect's deputy sect leader is extremely talented, compared with these people, he is still far behind.
Pang Xiu couldn't help but be silent, thinking the same thing.
There was silence for a while, then in a low voice, he changed the topic:
"Then when will senior plan to sleep?"
Jiang Yi glanced at the rows of bookshelves in the library and pondered for a while:
"At this rate, if I want to memorize and understand everything in the entire sutra library, I'm afraid it will take at least seven or eight hundred years, or even longer... But I will try my best to do it as soon as possible before my life ends. Some sleep."
As she said that, she glanced at Pang Xiu:
"At that time, I'm afraid it will probably be thousands or even tens of thousands of years before you and I meet again... But apart from you, I'm afraid there will be no acquaintances here."
This is also the reason why she talks so much to Pang Xiu alone.
The different scales of longevity determine the necessity of mutual communication.
Pang Xiu said nothing.
After practicing the way of the Earth Immortal, although he cannot leave this place, and although the improvement of his cultivation is extremely difficult and slow, his longevity is like that of Patriarch Yuyang and Patriarch Qingming, and he can survive in this world for a long time.
But that's not what he wants.
He just wanted to do something for the sect.
"Don't even think about passing on your yin and yang to the deputy sect leader. It's meaningless. Doing so will only affect his practice and fail to achieve his goal of understanding nature."
Jiang Yi said suddenly.
When the other party explained his thoughts, Pang Xiu hesitated, and then he could only exhale a long breath and sighed:
"I understand. If he can't understand it, I will never give him any advice, but..."
Pang Xiu raised his head slightly and looked into Jiang Yi's eyes:
"What if he realizes it?"
Facing Pang Xiu's question, Jiang Yi smiled softly:
"Ten years... How long did it take you to realize the killing intent in the Yin and Yang Tao?"
"It will take at least 180 years, right?"
Pang Xiu slightly avoided Jiang Yi's gaze and whispered:
"It... took me nearly three hundred years."
Jiang Yi looks natural:
"This is the result of having no one to guide you and groping on your own."
Pang Xiu shook his head and said:
"He is different. He has already practiced Hehuan Peak's techniques before. I have also given some guidance before. He still has a foundation. It shouldn't take that long."
Jiang Yi said simply:
"Even if he has the foundation, it will never be possible in ten years... Well, if he can really succeed, I will not break my promise. I will help him cultivate the two qi of yin and yang."
"But you and I both know very well that it is impossible to understand the Tao of Yin and Yang in ten years, even if you are just getting started."
Pang Xiu said no more, just lowered his body slightly towards Jiang Yi, and then disappeared in front of Jiang Yi.
The candlelight on the bookshelf flickered slightly.
Jiang Yi didn't know what he thought of, shook his head and sighed:
"Ten years... how can it be so easy."
Then he stopped thinking about it, lowered his head again, and read the ancient book in his hand.
…
"That Nascent Soul sword cultivator is quite interesting. Is he your junior brother?"
The stars are shining in the clear night sky.
Master Hualong, who has blond hair, a big nose and small, crooked eyes, stands in the clouds with a look of amazement on his face, staring at the towering stone steps in the distance.
There, it was already around the 1,700th level among the 3,000 stone steps.
Next to Master Hualong, Guan Ao frowned slightly and said:
"No... Dare I ask senior, is there anything wrong with my fellow student?"
"No problem, not only is it okay, it's actually great!"
Master Hualong couldn't hide the joy on his face, pointing to the figure paused slightly on the stone steps:
"He is the one with the fastest and greatest rise among these monks so far... The opponents in the stone step training are all arranged based on the practitioner's cultivation. This shows that your fellow disciple has great skills in swordsmanship. His understanding of martial arts and his talent in fighting have far exceeded his own level of cultivation."
"This also proves that he has unlimited potential. He is my... ahem, my friend, and the focus of Hualongchi's cultivation."
When Guan Ao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and asked quickly:
"Then what reward can my fellow disciple get?"
"Reward? Isn't he always getting rewards?"
Master Hualong stroked three long strands of his beard, and his green bean-like eyes revealed a bright light:
"Every time he goes up to a level, as long as he passes it, the stone steps will naturally give him a reward. After so many levels, the benefits are no less than the final reward. Didn't you see that after he passed the thousand levels, his cultivation level has obviously improved a lot than before? What... Hey, I didn't notice just now that this swordsman gave up his physical body and integrated himself into the swordsmanship itself?"
Master Hualong looked surprised and bewildered:
"No wonder he is progressing so fast. He only lacks the resources to strengthen his body. Once he supplements it, his strength will increase by leaps and bounds!"
"It seems that I have to take back what I said before."
"So fast! Another level up!"
Guan Ao stood aside and looked with his eyes wide open, but he couldn't see any difference. He could only see Zhao Feng walking slowly on the steps, as if he was strolling in a garden.
But this is not important. Even Master Hualong praised him so much. Zhao Feng must have gained a lot. He only needs to know this and it is enough.
But then his heart moved slightly and he looked curious:
"Senior said that my fellow sect has made the fastest progress. Isn't that impossible? I see that there are quite a few monks who come here to climb the ranks. Did Senior remember it wrong?"
"Remember wrong? I am Hualongchi... a friend of Hualongchi, how could I remember wrongly!"
Master Hualong's tone was slightly stagnant, and then he couldn't help but cheer:
"Good guy! Another level up!"
After admiring, he turned back and explained to Guan Ao:
"Don't think there are so many monks here. In fact, they are all selected by Ye Cangsheng and his descendants. Anyone with extraordinary talents has long been captured by them, and the remaining monks, even if There are fish that slip through the net, but without a complete and profound inheritance and sufficient resources, these monks naturally have insufficient foundation. Even if they are originally talented, they will soon be forgotten by everyone."
"So they are all here to make up the numbers. Not to mention that the Void Refining inheritance has no hope, even the God Transformation inheritance can only be obtained by one in ten thousand. Of course, there is no guarantee that there will be any special people."
Guan Ao suddenly realized.
While he was talking, Zhao Feng actually climbed up a few more levels.
It attracted the admiration of Master Hualong.
However, Guan Ao also noticed that Zhao Feng's climbing speed had slowed down visibly.
"Master Nephew Zhao should be reaching his limit soon. He is only in the early stage of Yuanying, but he has already reached places that can only be reached in the late stage of Yuanying..."
Guan Ao's heart condensed slightly.
He glanced slightly, and soon saw the figures of other Wanxiang Sect members on the stone steps.
"This Ji Yuan is pretty good. Although he is not as amazing as Zhao Feng, he has already reached more than 1,200 floors."
"Xi Wushang... I am ashamed of the reputation of Master Xi Kui and Chunyuan Peak. He has only reached the thousandth level."
But after thinking about it, Guan Ao also reacted.
Xi Wushang is a Pure Yuan Peak cultivator. He is good at overpowering people with his powerful magic power. He is not as good as sword cultivators and sword cultivators at the same level. Moreover, his experience in the Dragon Transformation Heavenly Dao is very targeted, so it is normal to have such a result.
He then saw the remaining Nascent Soul monks from the Wanxiang Sect between the 800th floor and the 1,000th floor.
Although the speed is slow, it is still steady and has not yet reached the limit.
His eyes moved down again, and then he saw a pretty girl in purple robe, climbing casually, and now she had reached a position close to the 800th floor.
That is already the limit of the Golden Core Realm.
"As expected of the successor of Wan Dharma Lineage."
Guan Ao nodded secretly.
This girl's cultivation level is only in the middle stage of Golden Core.
But judging from his relaxed appearance, it's obvious that he hasn't reached his limit yet.
After a few more glances, I saw a figure climbing up quickly.
"Eh? Isn't this the disciple of Master Nephew Zhao?"
Guan Aowei was a little surprised.
Although the opponent only climbed the steps around the 600th floor, his speed was extremely fast and he did not spend much time on each floor.
Obviously, the existing strength far exceeds the current level of experience.
After reading some more, I found that the overall performance of the disciples who came this time far exceeded that of most of the monks here.
"This is probably the most intuitive difference between casual cultivators and sect disciples."
Guan Ao thought secretly in his heart.
He was soon attracted by Master Hualong's exclamation.
Then he discovered that Zhao Feng's climbing speed, instead of slowing down, actually accelerated a lot.
"This little guy is training for battle, using the opponents he is experiencing to hone himself! Let his swordsmanship become more and more pure!"
"He is not following the traditional path of cultivating his magic power. He is using his heart to prove the sword and using the sword to clarify his heart. As long as the resources can keep up, his improvement speed is much faster than that of ordinary monks, but it is also much more dangerous. Once Having been thwarted by others in the way of swordsmanship, I have lost my courageous and diligent spirit, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to make any further progress..."
Master Hualong couldn't help but look in amazement, shook his head and sighed:
"This little guy is very courageous!"
"Among the former Daqian royal family, this boy's courage, talent, and courage were enough to rank among the top three!"
When Guan Ao heard this, he was proud of you.
"It's one thousand eight hundred floors!"
Master Hualong leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on the figure who never stopped on the steps.
It's not just him.
Outside the steps, the monks who had not stepped onto the steps also saw this scene.
A figure passed through the sparse crowd on the steps and walked calmly on the steps.
From time to time, starlight fell into the body of the monk below, which should have aroused the exclamation and envy of many people, but at this moment, no one cared at all.
"One thousand nine hundred floors!"
This time, this figure finally left everyone behind.
Master Hualong's hand stroking his beard froze in place, but he stared at the figure without realizing it.
Even Guan Ao couldn't help but become nervous at this moment.
"One thousand nine hundred and seventy floors!"
"One thousand nine hundred and ninety floors!"
"One thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight...ninety-nine..."
This time, Zhao Feng finally paused slightly.
Standing in front of two thousand floors.
Standing between the Nascent Soul and the Transformation Experience.
A wave of fluctuation quietly came from his body.
"This fellow disciple of yours has gained quite a lot this time. He has actually been promoted."
Master Hualong seemed to see something and couldn't help but nod in admiration.
Guan Ao was surprised and happy when he heard this:
"It seems that the deputy sect master sent us here at the right time!"
Zhao Feng stood on the stone steps, paused for a while, and then finally took a step.
At this step, he stepped firmly on the two thousandth stone step.
"What's his name?"
Master Hualong couldn't help but ask at this moment.
Although Guan Ao was overjoyed, he did not lose his vigilance. As soon as his thoughts came to his mind, he responded:
"Returning to Senior, his name has long been forgotten. We all call him 'Transparent Sword Immortal'."
"Transparent Sword Immortal?"
Master Hualong read this name, but his eyes were full of expectation as he stared at Zhao Feng.
The monks in front of the steps below also looked closely at Zhao Feng's figure.
In their eyes full of expectation but disbelief, Zhao Feng stepped towards the 2001st floor!
And the moment he stepped onto this level.
Zhao Feng's body couldn't stop shaking.
The footsteps even hung on the stone steps and never fell!
"It's still a bit forced... Although the difficulty of the stone steps has been appropriately lowered according to his cultivation level, and it is not a real experience of becoming a god, it is still too forced for him..."
Master Hualong stared at Zhao Feng closely. Although he spoke reluctantly, there was a rare trace of nervousness, excitement and expectation on his face.
And under such complicated gazes.
Zhao Feng's body suddenly cracked inch by inch!
His face was also cracked.
However, a strong sword intent on his body was like a wash of lead, becoming more pure and sharp.
And his feet, firmly, at a speed visible to the naked eye, fell down bit by bit.
Finally, it landed on the stone steps!
At the moment his feet landed on the stone steps.
In the sky, one of the three brightest stars suddenly burst into starlight, and then turned into a stream of light, and fell directly into Zhao Feng's arms.
The next moment, Zhao Feng's figure disappeared directly on the stone steps.
With the disappearance of Zhao Feng, the entire Hualong Pond was silent!
After a few breaths, an astonishing news quickly spread from the Hualong Pond to the ears of many leaders of forces outside the Hualong Pond.
"The Heavenly Saint Treasure Mirror, one of the three major refining inheritances, has been seized by overseas cultivators!"
"Quickly arrest the overseas cultivators!"
...
Wanxiang Sutra Library
Wang Ba's front was filled with all kinds of jade slips, books, and inheritances.
He was unaware of this. His hard study and research, coupled with the consumption of his lifespan, made him more and more enlightened, but also more and more confused.
"The harmony of yin and yang creates all things. All things come from nothing, and things come from something. This is creation, the heaven and earth, and the Tao..."
"But if it is really something that comes from nothing, then what is yin and yang?"
"Positive and negative, up and down, men and women, disaster and blessing... Everything in the world has oppositions, it is the physical appearance, and it is also itself."
"The beginning of yin and yang, is it Hunyuan?"
"Yes, this is the so-called one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. The Tao of yin and yang has another source, but the Tao of all living beings originates from yin and yang. So that's it, so that's it!"
Slowly, recalling the five elements, wind and thunder, and many skills he had learned, he gradually had a deeper understanding of yin and yang.
He gradually understood the most obscure part of the "Returning Method of Heaven and Earth".
One day, he suddenly stood up.
He looked around and said:
"Please ask Elder Pang and Senior Jiang to show up."
As soon as the voice fell.
Pang Xiu's figure quietly emerged.
His eyes swept over the books and jade slips piled up around Wang Ba.
"Have you given up? It's not long since it happened. It's good to save time."
Thinking of this, Pang Xiu whispered to comfort:
"Even if you can't understand the way of yin and yang, it won't have much impact on your way of all laws. After all, you are already a Yuanying. It's already impossible to integrate into the way of yin and yang. Just concentrate on..."
But Wang Ba smiled and shook his head and said:
"Uncle Pang, please ask Senior Jiang to come. I have brought the firewood she wants."
Pang Xiu didn't react at first, but after understanding the meaning of Wang Ba's words, he was still a little confused:
"You, have realized it?" (End of this chapter)
